I know of at least TWO lids for a GI canteen cup.

A plastic lid:

A stainless steel lid : http://www.thekeytosurvival.com/storetitles/stovescookware/heavyboilcover.html

Neither lid is USGI.

It would appear neither lid will fit in a USGI canteen cover along with the canteen, canteen cup and stove. I am sticking with aluminum flashing for this exact reason.

Thanks.
